Houston hoped to gain a lead in the AFC South division race, but lost to the New England Patriots 27-6 in their Sunday night matchup.
The Texans offense struggled, limited to a pair of field goals on the night and converting just 3-of-14 on third downs.
Brian Hoyer was sacked five times for a loss of 54 yards. After the fifth sack, Hoyer exited the game and headed to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Hoyer was 11-of-22 for 155 yards and a passer rating of 73.1.
T.J. Yates entered the game late in the fourth quarter for the injured Hoyer.
